Ponteland – Engineered Oak Herringbone

Engineered Oak Herringbone – Ponteland

Our Ponteland herringbone pairs a real European oak top layer with a stable multi-layer base, giving you the classic look of parquet with extra stability. A mixed grade blends cleaner blocks with more characterful ones for a natural, varied floor.

The surface is brushed to lift the grain texture and finished with a low-sheen matt lacquer for a natural look that is easy to care for. The blocks are laid in a classic herringbone pattern using left and right blocks.

Description

Ponteland Engineered Oak Herringbone: Where It Works Best

Ponteland is a mixed grade engineered oak herringbone floor, brushed and matt lacquered. A mixed grade blends cleaner blocks with more characterful ones, so you get natural variation across the floor without it feeling too busy. It is a versatile choice that sits comfortably in both modern and traditional homes.

The finish

The surface is brushed to bring out the texture of the grain, then sealed with a low-sheen matt lacquer. You get the tactile, natural look of brushed oak with the easy-care protection of a lacquered floor, and it is ready to live on as soon as it is laid.

Block size and construction

At 70 x 350mm, these blocks are a classic parquet size. They give a well-proportioned herringbone that sits naturally in almost any room, from living rooms and dining rooms to bedrooms and hallways.

Each block has a 4mm real oak wear layer bonded to a stable multi-layer base, 15mm thick overall. The engineered construction is less prone to movement than solid wood, and the 4mm oak top layer means the floor can be sanded and refinished in future.

Fitting your herringbone floor

Herringbone is laid with separate left and right blocks to create the zigzag pattern, and is normally fixed to a flat, dry, prepared subfloor. For the best result we recommend an experienced floor fitter. Not sure whether herringbone is right for your room?

Caring for Ponteland

Sweep or vacuum regularly and clean with a damp (not wet) mop and a lacquer-friendly wood floor cleaner. Use felt pads under furniture and mats at entrances to help protect the finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see a sample first?

Yes. We always recommend seeing the floor in your own light before ordering. You can order a flooring sample of Ponteland online, or contact us for advice.

How much flooring should I order?

Measure the area in square metres and allow extra for cutting. Herringbone usually needs a larger allowance than a straight-laid floor (often around 10 to 15%), because of the angled cuts at the edges. Our team can help you work out the right quantity.

Can Ponteland be used with underfloor heating?

Suitability for underfloor heating depends on the system and how the floor is installed. Get in touch and we will confirm the right approach for Ponteland in your home.
